DHS says law required release of 154 immigrants with murder convictions
The Washington Times ^ | August 21, 2014 | Stephen Dinan

The Obama administration says it had no choice but to release almost all of the 169 murderers it let go from immigration detention last year, saying court decisions gave officials no choice in the matter — but it’s promising a new system to better screen who gets let out.

Of the 169 immigrants with homicide-related convictions released in fiscal 2013, all but 15 were required to be let go because of specific court orders or because the immigrants had been held for too long under the rules established by a sweeping 2001 Supreme Court case, the Homeland Security Department said in an Aug. 15 letter to Sen. Charles E. Grassley.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement chief Thomas S. Winkowski said they’re changing the rules to make sure a senior supervisor screens the release of those kinds of immigrants in the future.

“Ensuring that our enforcement policies and procedures are best suited to protect national security and public safety is paramount,” Mr. Winkowski told Mr. Grassley. “To make certain that we are doing everything we can in this regard, I am instituting new procedures requiring that an appropriate senior-level supervisor must approve before ICE releases potentially dangerous individuals.”

Dang, the real Department of Homeland Security has run out of paper. The corruption exposure of this administration and judges has burnt up twelve warehouse of paper on this day alone documenting the corruption.

Get out of jail free cards for illegal immigrant criminals.

Even if we “deport them” I have no belief that Mehi Co. will pick up the expense to keep them locked up.

Tag and release, where they will continue their actions of raping, robbing, driving drunk, killing, and crossing the border.

The Obama/Holder clown show respects the law?

Bwahahahahahahahha.

I can only hope that observer tickets are available to the guillotine area follwing CW-II.

I really, really want to see those two up on the deck.

Lie of Omission?

It strikes me as being more of an outright lie.

As long as the killers are released to Martha's (totally out of touch) liberal elite Vineland... I'm fine with it.

I'm willing to have my taxes raised so the killers can live on Martha's Vineyard full time... Tourist season and off season. Maybe they can get jobs near the golf course...

The effing liberals want these killers here - they can damn will open their own doors to them.

This gang respects the law? That’s so funny I forgot to laugh.
These people do what they want to do.
They released alien murderers into American society because they wanted to release them, just as they released the five al Qaeda officers that they `exchanged’ for one shitebird.

Correct and it's pathetic. The worst president in our history who ignores the law, does basically what he wants and the Republican leadership does zilch.

But that make no sense. If the law required them to be released, what good will it do to have a senior level supervisor review the case? I call BS. Someone screwed the pooch and this is all excuse making.
